Several years ago when I was living in Boston I would take the T out to Sullivan Square and then catch the bus to my job. One morning, the bus driver accidentally took a wrong turn out of the T station. It was 6:45am and, as usual, I had my headphones on and was half asleep.

Holy crap, it's that time of year again. It seems like just yesterday we were ringing in 2005 dressed like extras from Ferris Buellar's Day Off. This year there was much debate about a theme and I'm afraid we're at a standstill. So this year it's a Choose Your Own Theme New Year's Party at the Fancy House ( Read more... )
